GOVERNMENT FUND FOUGHT —- I l CONTINUED FROM RAGE ONE I — "A check of the unemployment I relief situaiton by states which I I have just made emphasizes again !the existence in some parts of the country of great hardships resulting from unemployment." Gifford told the Latollette-Costigan com- ! mittee. "At the same time it indicates that, subject to action by 'legislatures in possibly some four lor five instances, each state will 'care for- its own who must have! help this winter. "While the situation varies in different localities, local governiment as a whole have probably ul--1 ways made the largest money con tribution. The private agencies j cooperating with them have, in | general, taken care of problems | which the governmental agencies operating with a certain rigidity under statutes cannot so well | handle." Gifford sa"i that federal appropnrations would lessen community and state responsibility and tend to diminish "the sincere and whole-1 | hearted efforts of the hundreds of 'thousands of volunteers engaged 'both in raising and administering 'relief funds." | "Individuals would tend to withdraw much of the invisible aid they I are now giving; private funds rais|ed by popular subscription would I become less; efforts to spread work i and to provide work that would { not be done except for the emergi ency would be lessened; business | I organizations would tend to do less for former employes." o ffrTownTalk Paul Liston, assistant coach to Lou Little of Columbia University, who has been the guest of Miss Lee Anna Vance here far the past few days, returned to Ink home at Washington.

DIPLOMATIC BREAK NEARS: TROUBLE BREWS I iCONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE! I important factor in Secretary ! Stimson’s decision to restate 1 Americas open door policy. Stimson senl notes to Tokio I and Peiping late yesterday re- | minding them of the Fights of the | United Stales and its citizen:', in i China. He cited the Kellogg peace pact and some unidentified provisions of the nine-power act to holster these rights ami China's right to sovereignty. Interference with American liitsi- ' ness in Manchuria has followed in ' the wake of the Japanese army. I officials said. Shipments of United : States firms have been delayed. | banking facilities have been with- | drawn and there has been other I interference with normal biisi- ' ness. Alarmed by these conditions. a number of firms have protested to the state department. Officials would not make public their names. During the Japanese military campaign the state department realized that some interference with business in Manchuria almost was inevitable. Now that the. Japanese have completed their conquest, however, it is expected they will make reasonable i amends for any damage done, | American firms. Stimson's note clearly indicated to Japan that he expects it fully to preserve American trade rights in the Orient. According to the commerce department estimate. American interest is centered primarily in I banks and commerce. Some American corporations maintain branch offices there. Among tiie large American corporations doing business in Manchuria are the National Cisy Bank of New York, the Standard Oil Uo. of New York, the Texaco Oil Co., the Kellogg Switchboard and Telephone Co., and Anderson Meyer
